Hydrangea Love ♥️

I said to myself..."I think this one will be just perfect to add to my BIG bouquet of Hydrangeas"....

My Hydrangea bush at the cottage...I have 2 smaller ones...not nearly as large..Last Wednesday...The Flower Lady brought me a whole BOX of Blue Hydrangea... A WHOLE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!I left 1/2 at home...and took the other 1/2 to the cottage...

I added one of my BIG White Hydrangea in the middle of the bouquet...

The petals are a lot smaller than the Blue ones......

This bouquet was for the screened sunporch...

This is another favorite corner of mine...

Can't forget my kitchen porch!Along with a few beach treasures...beach glass found that day...and my first wee ripe tomato!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you are all well and having a great week so far..

Are you still surviving through this heat???

We are headed for another heatwave in the high 30's...humidex into the 40's!!

Not sure when we will get any relief...the gardens are crying out for rain...

They are gorgeous! I love hydrangeas. I have quite a few of these plants growing in my garden. Speaking of gardens, mine, along with many others, is suffering with this heat wave. The plants are struggling, some I'm not sure will even make it. And I did lose a couple. It has been very hot and dry for the longest time. We need rain!

Gardens are parched Linda..not pretty..I am only showing their heads..grass is like straw..crunch crunch..and I find I have overwatered pots..thinking they must be so thirsty!!:(My first Japanese Anemone bloomed..more to come..Take care nana.

Yup...I sure am lucky! And today, some beautiful yellow Roses with orange tips!Gardens parched here too Monique...kinda sad, eh?? We wait so long to enjoy the gardens, and it is just too dry!You must show your Anemones...pretty please???

Lovely blooms . I want to get pink and blue bushes to go with our white one . Yes gona be a scorcher tomorrow and for the next few days . Nana day sounds fun . Thanks for sharing . Have a good day and stay cool !

They will most likely be on sale in the Fall Elaine...they sure are a beautiful plant...We are going to the cottage tomorrow...but home Friday, as we have a thing to go to on Saturday...I guess there was no rain down there, eh??

Hydrangeas just make you want to hug them, they're so round a puffy. A whole box of blue hydrangeas is a wonderful gift as you are able to spread them out around your house. I have put the sprinkler on my garden (vegetable) but I have too many perennials to keep them watered. Everything is crunchy. -Jenn

Oh wow, Linda, what a fantastic box of hydrangeas, and how gorgeous they will look in your two houses. High 30s? That I can handle - don't have a choice for much of the year - but into the 40s, is UnFair! Who can do anything in such heat. Hope you get some rain soon for your grass and garden. Happy week, Linda.

Funny even though the gardens are suffering with the heat and no rain in sight our hydrangeas still look gorgeous!Love the blue , hoping my blue bush gets bigger and I'll have some to cut and dry.Stay cool in the pool....lol

Well aren't those glorious! I have a green thumb. Can make a broom stick grow. But not a hydrangea! Go figure!Stay cool. I am in the house with the AC at 73 I wish I know how to convert your temps to ours. I don't know what 40 is here?xo Kris

Wow, finally some relief from the humidity. You must be back from the cottage as I read in one of your comments above. Hope it's a happy occasion that you've come home early for. :) Going to check out the Oakville Jazz Fest late afternoon. Have a good weekend...

It's about time......
